< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
Na Hiob buaa Awurade se,
2 I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
“Minim sɛ wutumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛe.
3 For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?
Wubisa se, ‘Hena ni a onni nimdeɛ nso osiw mʼafotu ho kwan?’ Ampa ara mekaa nneɛma a mente ase no ho nsɛm, nneɛma a ɛyɛ nwonwa ma me.
4 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
“Wokae se, ‘Tie na menkasa; mebisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuae.’
5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
Mate wo nka pɛn, na mprempren de, mʼani ahu wo.
6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
Ɛno nti mibu me ho animtiaa na mete mfutuma ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
7 And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].
Na Awurade kaa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ Hiob wiei no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Temanni Elifas se, “Me bo afuw wo ne wo nnamfonom baanu no, efisɛ moanka me ho asɛm a ɛyɛ nokware sɛnea me somfo Hiob kae no.
8 Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.
Afei, momfa anantwi ason ne adwennini ason, na monkɔ me somfo Hiob nkyɛn, na monkɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma mo ho. Me somfo Hiob bɛbɔ mpae ama mo, na metie ne mpaebɔ no na merenyɛ mo sɛnea ɛfata mo nkwaseasɛm no, nsɛm a moka faa me ho no nyɛ nokware sɛnea me somfo Hiob yɛe no.”
9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.
Enti Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no; na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaebɔ.
10 And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.
Hiob bɔɔ mpae maa ne nnamfonom akyi no, Awurade san yɛɛ no ɔdefo bio na ɔde nʼahode a na ɔwɔ kan no mmɔho abien maa no.
11 And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].
Afei, ne nuabarimanom, ne nuabeanom nyinaa ne obiara a na onim no dedaw no baa ne fi ne no bedidii. Wɔkyekyee ne werɛ wɔ amanehunu a Awurade ma ɔkɔɔ mu no ho, na wɔn mu biara brɛɛ no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ kaa.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.
Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awiei sen ne mfiase. Onyaa nguan mpem dunan, yoma mpem asia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfurum abere apem.
13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Bio onyaa mmabarima baason ne mmabea baasa.
14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
Ɔtoo ne babea piesie no din Yemima, na nea odi so no Kesia na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no de Keren-Hapuk.
15 And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
Asase no so nyinaa, na mmaa biara nni hɔ a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ sɛ Hiob mmabea no, na wɔn agya de wɔn kaa wɔn nuabarimanom no ho maa wɔn agyapade.
16 And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.
Eyi akyi no, Hiob dii mfirihyia ɔha aduanan; ohuu ne mma ne ne nenanom awo ntoatoaso anan.
17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
Afei owui a na wabɔ akwakoraa pa ara.
